I wake up, the tatters of my now forgotten dream vanishing into the depths of my mind as I take in my surroundings. It's morning, judging from the birdsongs and the light coming from between the curtains. The room is dark except for the sunlight grasping through the curtains looking to burn my flesh and spirit, and the television, which seems to be playing that Princess X Princess show Maria loves so dearly.

I take a sniff of the air and stretch, my ears twitching as my tail swishes from out under the blankets and begins to sway back and forth behind me. I get out of bed and notice that I can hear running water coming from the bathroom.

So Maria's taking a shower right now, no doubt scrubbing herself with soap, maybe even thinking about me... Okay, stop that train of thought before it crashes, just think about something else, like fire, or explosions, or fiery explosions.

Okay that seems to have done the trick, for now at least. But now another problem comes to me, I have nothing to do today, besides the obvious choice of cuddling with Maria and making sure she doesn't leave the room to dirty herself with the presence of others who aren't me.

Maybe I could go kill something, haven't killed anything normal in a while, and I don't want to get rusty

Then again I could go to some classes and try to learn something new.

Or I could just wander around. I sigh. why must there always be so much to do, but so little time to do it all?

You know, I haven't seen Ms stone in awhile, I may be able to learn something from her, no matter how doubtful that is, I mean I can already make something that could kill a man and his whole family in a matter of moments. But then again she's a real joy to talk to, so I'll just go there anyways. Besides, I need to get out more anyways. I throw my hoodie on and throw the hood up as I walk out the door and lock it behind me, don't want anyone peeking on my Maria after all. I walk down the halls and down the stairs, I notice there aren't many students out and about in the dorms, so they're either asleep or at classes right now.

I open the doors and step outside, shielding my eyes until they adjust to the sudden light they're assaulted by. I snarl and keep walking, Noticing that people actively try to avoid me now, and some girls give me some rather mean looks that fade the second I turn towards them. Cowards, not worth my time really.

I walk to the beach and take a moment to enjoy the wonderful sea air, and the noise of the waves slowly sloshing back and forth, it's almost melodic really. I shake my head, no time to be distracted by waves, I need to get to class. I walk up the wooden walk way and open the door.

I see Ms stone sitting by the table, her unnatural grey hair wild and hanging in front of her face like weeds. She doesn't bother to turn towards me.

"Classes start in a few minutes" She says "Now would you kindly close the door, you're letting the cold in". I close the door behind me, and notice a scent and warmth to the room. It's actually lit for once, by candles...lilac scented candles. Also it seems warmer than usual. I look around and see the windows seem to have been fixed and are covered by thick red curtains.

I sit down across from Ms stone and notice she's drinking some tea, which seems to have gone cold

>>37250357"You know, I should really get the table ready for you" She says "because I will have you on it one of these days, make no mistake about it, Layla"

"Oh I have no doubt you'll try" I say grabbing her cup of tea and taking a sip...Oooh arsenic, wonderful.

"So are you just going to sit there until class starts?" She asks placing a hand on the side of her head.

What do I say[] Pretty much, yeah[] Well, I want to discuss poisons, and trade notes and such and such[] nah, going to play with my vampire[] Are you feeling alright, it isn't like you to take care of your home[] no, I'll be leaving now[] *read her books*[] write in

>>37250438>[] Are you feeling alright, it isn't like you to take care of your home>[] Well, I want to discuss poisons, and trade notes and such and suchMore like leech off her notes. We only just got our poison kit.

"Are you feeling alright?" I ask her smiling "it isn't like you to take of your home like this"

"Well, I thought I needed a bit of change in my life" she says

"So what's with the candles, it's the middle of the day you know" I say gesturing to everything around us

"I don't question your choice, don't question mine" she growls "I just like the curtains closed and I like candles okay?"

"Okay" I say "also want to swap notes and talk about poison and stuff?"

"What could you teach me?" She asks chuckling, raising her head slightly... was she always that pale, I never really payed attention to her, wait, she has a vampire in her basement, I wonder if that means she...well I hope not, that'd be very bad for me wouldn't it

"I was thinking the same exact thing" I say smiling "I mean recipes, I made a rather nasty thing"

"The thing you put in the maxwell brat right?" She asks "fun little mixture, but not interested in it, but I can give you can look at my notes if you want to"

"And how do you know they can teach me anything?" I ask her

"Don't look a gift horse in the mouse, or I'll just put you on the table right now" She growls looking at me through her hair.

"Well, no reason to be rude" I say giggling

What do I do[] check on clementine[] look at the notes[] leave and do something else[] Ask ms stone something[] write in

"Fine, I'll look at your bloody notes then" I sigh as I get up, placing her empty tea cup back in front of her, before I head over to the a table covered in various papers and pens, as well as crumbs from what looks like those cookies she gave me those one times. I look at the notes, they're covered in scrawling writing and diagrams of various parts of the body. They seem to be recipes, but looking at them hurts my eyes more than that dammed spell book.

Also one more things disturbs me, a large amount of the recipes I see require vampires blood, but most of these ones have "Failure" Scrawled on the top of them

in fact all of them do, it seems like she's trying to figure out how to use it in poisons, but seems to be failing for some reason or another. The most recent note has this scrawled on the side "The blood needs to be heated and slightly weakened by some other liquid maybe the blood of something else or water to work in any form of poison or anything similar"

Well, now that's really helpfulVampire's blood can now be used in poison making

I place the notes down and rub my head, and turn to see a few students sitting in chairs as Ms stone lectures them on how to identify common poisons, which is really simple stuff, I mean you just need to taste it and it's rather easy to tell what it is.

What do I do?[]Go somewhere else *other class, Job, or explore*[] Check on my vampire[] help with the lecture[] mess with the lecture[] write in

You know, I have a feeling I know why Ms stone suddenly decided to get curtains. I think she died, like I did, by feeding on my property, which I wouldn't be mad about if she actually asked me first. I sigh and walk over to the basement, opening to door with the key hidden in the vase and walking down into the dimly lit stairwell and into Clementine's room.

She's chained to the wall as usual, She looks up at me as I enter the room, she smiles slightly as I do so.

"Oh, you haven't visited in a while, I was wondering when you'd come back" she says happily

"Well, I was bored, nothing to kill or disrupt, real boring day you know?" I say

"Still a heathen a see, that's okay, at least you actually talk to me" She says still smiling "Instead of just taking my blood and leaving a blood bag on the floor or you know other horrible things like that". I shrug

What do I do[] Ask her something[] Lets do something with the vampire[] cast a spell[] torture torture[]leave[] write in

>>37253149>[] Lets do something with the vampire>Ask her if she noticed some changes with Ms Stone, and since when.>>37253175Of course she has, she has been experimenting with it ever since we turned Clementine.

>>37253483>A familiar can talk to us and teach class right?We have no idea.They become proper animals if the spell is done right, but if they can talk, we don't know.One way or the other the school would probably have a issue with that.

"Say, have you noticed anything different with Ms stone?" I ask her smiling as I put my hands into my pockets.

"No, she hasn't been down her for a few days besides to throw a blood bag at me" She says "while grumbling about something or another, why do you ask?"

"I think she's a vampire now" I say

"Oh" she says "Well does that mean she'll leave me alone now?"

"No, not at all" I say

"Oh, well damn" She says sadly

"Oh don't worry, maybe she'll forget about you" I say patting her on her shoulder

"Well at least you'd still remember I'm here" She says

"Yeah that's something to look forward to" I say

"Wait so if she's a vampire does that mean she drank my blood?" She asks

"Yes, or she used the blood of the insanely powerful vampire with an obsession for me" I say "which I used on you and myself"

"I really hope she hasn't" She says sounding like a little girl

"Well we have no way of knowing, now do we?" I say. She shrugs, causing her chains to jangle

"So why did you come here anyways?" She asks

"just wanted to talk" I say smiling.

"Really?" She says

"Yeah" I say "I mean I have no reason to torture you anymore anyways". She smiles happily, shacking her chains.

What do I do[] Talk with clementine[] leave and go do something else (job, class, explore..etc)[] I wonder what vampire tastes like...[]test the effects of "Ghoul" on clementine[]cast a spell[] take the vampire somewhere[] write in

"Nun, would you like to kill people for no reason besides to pass time and maybe have a chance to get out of here?" I ask smiling as I remove the chains that bind her.

"Wait, if I say yes, you'll take me out of here, right?" She asks meekly

"Of course, you've fed today, right?" I ask her as I watch her look around rubbing her wrists looking like a lost puppy.

"Yes" She says biting on her claws "She feeds me everyday after all"

"Good, now lets go before she comes down here or something" I say grabbing on to the vampire nun, dressed in jeans and white shirt. I lead her out of the room and the shack and into sunlight. She hisses and covers her eyes, and I shake my head as she rubs them, tears of blood running down her face

"Ow" she groans as she looks around "oh, I forgot I was near a beach, that's nice". I drag her along as she looks at everything around her. it takes some effort to get her into Building E.

"Oh, I was wondering when you'd get" the counter guy says "HOLY SHIT, I didn't know we had students like that, damn, what did they feed you girl, cause you looking fiiiine". Clementine tries to hide behind me

"She's a bit shy" I say

"oooh my favourite" He says. I shake my head and go grab three job cards

1:Strange happenings in Brausrburgedear countess, a beast has been hunting us and our livestock, please help.reward: special

2: Strange factory workerCharles Frank, a weird fucker who may diddle kids as far as we know, either way, people want him dead. Reward: 1500

I look at the letter, trying to understand what it says since it has some very poor penmanship and also some words I have no idea what the meaning of them are, however I make out enough of it to realize my people are in trouble again, which simply cannot do.

"Oh, helping those buggers out again?" the counter asks as I hand him the letter "well come on to the back, you to mcbustytitsalot". Clementine follows me into the backroom, filled with various devices and tools

"Ok, now go to the beach, Georgy should be waiting there for you" Counter guy says shooing us out of the room. Clementine follows me out the door, avoiding the gaze of the agents and second years taking jobs. I lead her to the beach, and sure enough the fat man is there with a boat. He waves at me, smiling as he devours his sandwich greedily. I wave back at him and step into the boat Clementine following close behind me.

"May want to sleep" I say "going to be a long trip". She nods as I place my head into my arms and close my eyes.

I awaken to the smell of rotting fish and saddness, the smell of brausrburge. I stand up, stretching as I walk out of the ship, Clementine follow shortly behind me

"Now try and go easy on the new girlie, okay Layla?" Georgy says as he leans back into a chair, rifle by his side and a case of beers to his other

I nod and walk down the pier and onto the beach. I walk up the rotting stair case and up onto the the cliff, the house now having lights inside of it and smoke in it's chimney once more

"Come on" I say as I begin to walk to the town of Brausrburge. Clementine follows after me, looking around but not saying a word as she mutters something under her breath, stopping for a moment before running to catch up to me. it isn't long before we reach the edge of the town, oh it seems they've gotten a new signs, and the buildings seem to be repainted and as a whole I see a lot more people milling about.I smile and walk in, clementine following after me closely, looking a bit twitchy as she does so.

"AH Countess, vhere have you been lately?" I hear a familiar voice say as wallus and his owner walk up to me, smiling widely.

"Oh you know, this and that, the town looks nice by the way" I say smiling

"Vell with the money you sent ve've been able to rebuild and get many comforts of modern living" he says

"And the statue" I say as I stare up at Wallus

"Finished and place, I've heard there was a break into to your castle, actually" He say

"Really, did you kill whoever did it?" I ask.

"Ve found no one, and the guard on duty at the time said a voice talked to him and threatened to report him, but this is a strange land, was probably ghost" He says shrugging "so I assume you are here for the verevolf"

What do I say[] yes[] OH GODAMMIT[] no, I want to see the statue first[] I wish to show my friend around a bit first[] A werewolf, seriously?[] write in

"Of course I will" I say "But first I'm going to show my friend around the place, and look at the statue for a bit"

"Vell so long as you get it done" He say walking past me, wallus following close behind

"Was that a dog?" Clementine asks

"Yes, a very large dog" I say smiling as I begin to walk towards my castle. it's a short walk up to it and sure enough the place isn't burnt or semi looted anymore, The Iron gates have the initials LM on them now and images of two statues of cats on either side of the gate, both smiling widely. The guards bow quickly and open the gate.

I nearly let out a cheer as I see the statue of Maria in all it's glory, looking almost as lovely as the real thing, Clementine looks confused as I restrain myself from leaping into it's large stone arms

"Okay?" She says "is this all you wanted to show me or what?"

What do I say[] Yeah, lets go kill the werewolf[] no, I need to look inside[] Well people broke in, but no one broke out, I want to see where they went[] give me a few minutes alone with the statue[]write in

"Well, people broke in, but no one broke out" I say "I want to see where they went"

"Okay then, I assume I'll need to follow you on your search then?" She says

"Of course, can't have you eating my people" I say as I open the door and walk into the now much more lit main hall, all of the carpets are now a light green and there are paintings of me and Maria, as requested, as well as having the floors polished. I look around and see servants milling about, going about their work, they bow to me as they walk past, smiling happily as they do so.

Well if I'd look anywhere, it'd have to be my throne room, since I don't know where anything else is in this damn place, it's too big, way too many rooms and corridors and random suits of armor. I walk past a few servants on the way there, having to drag Clementine away from them as I go. After a while, a few minutes at most, we end up at the great iron doors to the throne room, I push them open and step inside.

Nothing seems out of the ordinary here, besides the fact the place is a lot more friendly looking than the last time I was here.

Clementine refuses to enter the room. I look around and....why is there a door there?I don't think there was a door there last time I was here

What do I do[] Inspect door[] Maybe I'm hallucinating again, Clementine, can you see the door[] Leave, go look for werewolf[] Go somwhere else in castle[] write in

"Okay then so I'm just seeing things again then" I say "ah well, can't do anything about that now can I?"

"Are you feeling alright?" She asks

"Of course I am" I say smiling as I walk out of the room "lets go do something else besides standing around doing nothing"

"Wait did you actually see a door or are you just toying with me again like the last time you visited and said you could see Carlos from beyond the grave?" She asks

"I saw a door, but it probably wasn't real or anything" I say

"So what do we do now then?" she asks

"I don't know, maybe we do the job, or just wander around in my castle, I just don't know what to do" I say

"We should help these people" Clementine says "before more lives are lost"

"Well, I suppose we should then" I say "doesn't mean I'll actually hurry towards a werewolf"

"Well we have to do it, don't we?" she says smiling. I shake my head, she frowns

what do I say[] Fine,, lets ask around for info[] bah I'mm going to wander around for a bit[] werewolves like forests right, lets look there first[] okay, lets just wait until night and then strike[] write in

I'm sorry, but I don't think I can run anymore today, I just suddenly started feeling like shit and lost all ability to write I'm terribly sorry, but I simply can't think of what to write anymoreI'm so sorry, but we'll have to end here tonightSorry for cutting this off before anything really happenedI really am
